Expert Q & A
As a knowledge-based institution, Pew is home to specialists in their fields. Policy makers, journalists and the public seek their expertise, which is valued for its nonpartisan balance and grounding in sound research.

Don Kimelman, managing director of Pew's Information Initiatives and the Philadelphia Program, oversees the development of Pew's work to inform and engage the public and opinion leaders on issues and trends shaping America and the world. This work is primarily carried out through nonpartisan polling and social science research by the Pew Research Center. Don also leads Pew's efforts to help improve civic life in the Philadelphia region and nationally.
We previously interviewed Don four years ago for Trust magazine as Pew was bringing together its multiple polling and research projects into one organization, the Pew Research Center. The center currently includes the Pew Hispanic Center, Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life, Pew Research Center for the People & the Press, Pew Internet & American Life Project, Pew Global Attitudes Project and the center's Project for Excellence in Journalism and Social and Demographic Trends Project.
Our Web editors caught up with Don to get his take on the latest developments at the center, particularly as it produces an array of timely reports on the 2008 presidential race. We will follow up with Don at a later date to discuss Pew's work in Philadelphia.
